No, thanks.
I'd rather have a 1970 Plymouth Hemicuda, which could get to 60 mph (5.5 seconds) about 6 times faster than an underpowered '70 VW, which means I certainly wouldn't fall asleep in it.
(BTW, 652 hardtops and 14 convertible hemicudas built.)

(Actually, "Dasher" was what Volkswagen called the original Passat in the States, because "Passat" - short for, as noted, Passatwind, German for "trade wind" - sounded way to foreign here then.)

The Dasher was Volkswagen's topline family car in their North American lineup in the 1970's. It was the spiritual successor to the mid-engined Type 3 sedans of yore. Pictured above is a brochure for a 1976 five-door hatchback Dasher.

In 95 I bought a Mazda 323 and a few weeks ago a Ford Escort, nice cars, but dull to drive, compared to VWs....this 88 Golf was the last of 3 VWs i owned, it was also the only NEW car I ever bought ( Well, it was a demo, but, basically new) I had the red stripes added to the side cause i hate white cars and it made it look a bit more distinctive...but, the price was right!
